Before George and Boo lost everything
in '29 and he left her
for a speakeasy girl on Olivera Street
crazy
how things can change
before he called out for her near his death
and she came to hold him in her arms
before
before
before the oil this place once was a desert...

Someday
I may be
some great great something
to someone
and will that child be dreaming about me
and that great brave space that was
crazy
before it changed
before it changed
before it changed
